- I see WAL files getting accumulated in pg_xlog location and the status in

- Is there anyway we can only restart archiving process without disturbing
- the actual cluster ?
-
- Actually, we had killed a process using "kill  -9 " and the db went into
- recovery mode and was back up and running.
-
- We have no issues with the application as well.
-
- postgres=# select pg_is_in_recovery();

-  pg_is_in_recovery

- Please help to resolve this !

If you fix the problem causing the archiver process to fail it will start processing
the logs again.

check your postgres logs and check your archive_command in your postgresql.conf and
make sure that everything is correct there.
